Nostr Web Client

Lots of good computer people I know don't travel to the US (or even transfer via US) because of safety issues. It's not worth the risk.

It is very concerning how hard it is for people to get travel visa's to come to nostr:npub17yqgpat6e6ensd78jqhj4c3ef03uq04uqu3z05rhjnlk67lwm8wq9w5269. It's also concerning how many non Americans I met that don't want to travel to the US even if they could get a travel visa because of safety and security. My eyes have been opened this year on just how bad this is. If this doesn't eventually get better I'm going to have rethink a few things about TABConf.

You’re not a Bitcoiner until you…

Buy Bitcoin.

But then you’re like wait, I need to get these coins off the exchange.

So you get a hardware wallet.

But then you’re like wait, this is a ledger.

So you get a cold card.

But then you’re like wait, it isn’t using a passphrase.

So you use a passphrase.

But then you’re like wait this isn’t multisig and multisig would be better.

So you buy 4 more coldcards and set up a multisig.

But then you’re like wait I can’t just do coldcards I have to guard against supply chain attacks.

So you buy a ledger again and probably a bitbox too.

But then you’re like wait, I haven’t geographically distributed these.

So you disperse them throughout the country.

But then you’re like wait, what about jurisdictional risk?

So you disperse them to multiple countries.

But then you’re like wait, what if I was tracked as I was placing the hardware wallets?

So you…

There’s actually no end.

It just keeps going like that forever.

Congrats you’re a Bitcoiner now lol 😂

We have 141 contributors to bitcoin core in roughly the last 12ish months for github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin going back to v24.1

I just realized I'm denoted as one of them on the 26 release. 😅 Many like me may only have trivial commits, but it's still pretty cool to be associated along some very talented people.

26 contributors are active on 3+ releases in the 12 months. I'm planning an award ceremony at nostr:npub17yqgpat6e6ensd78jqhj4c3ef03uq04uqu3z05rhjnlk67lwm8wq9w5269 this year to help bring to light some of the hard work done behind the scenes for Bitcoin and related projects. Starting the tradition this year.

Let's try to see if I can put Nostr to work:

I'll send sats to every valid suggestion.

If you were giving out 3 awards for bitcoin that were technical in nature, which categories would you come up with?

Bonus sats if you come up with 4 candidates for your proposed achievement categories.

For someone who constantly feels busy, what is the best source on Nostr to keep up with current news.nostr:note1upy7u9me25pvdvshgt6hu6g6x2xyd0lnwht9rv09rfwzkyg69tjq8t9969

I'm the guy in the corner. But the good news is, with enough people having fun and building, we'll figure out how to defeat the guys valid tweet thread.
